So I exchanged a number of emails with Agent Vi, though I am still struggling to understand what they are claiming is new. A big problem is that they are munging existing features with new improvements. One clear change they note is a "Single Application for Administration, Configuration, Analytics Rule Definitions and Monitoring (replaces Vi-Config, Vi-Setup, Vi-Monitor)"

They also talked about overall effiiciency and accuracy improvements but it is not clear to me how substantial they are.

savVi might be a better brand / marketing term but it seems that Agent Vi is still Agent Vi, perhaps moderately better.

Do you mean where can we, IPVM, get cameras of all brands? Generally, we buy them from online stores or distributors. We're actually delayed in testing that Hikvision camera because the re-seller we bought it from has not shipped it to us yet.

Since we buy limited qualities of a wide array of products, we don't have a 'major' or 'favorite' place. For what we need (reasonable quickly delivery, low price), most places work out fine. However, if we were buying hundreds of cameras, we might care more about RMAs and tech support, etc. Those are not concerns for us but we are not a typical buyer in that respect.

I am looking for a Avigilon H3A camera. It seems to work nice for video analysis, and from the report IPVM published, it has an impressive result for less false alarm. Could u tell where you bought this camera.

For Avigilon, you need to find a local dealer. Avigilon is quite strict at regulating re-sales so you'll need to check locally who is a dealer. You can also talk to someone in Avigilon sales in your region.
